They are not gone forever as previously stated by some people....
Do not use the memory card - Re-using it will overwrite the underlying data. There are plenty of programs about that recover formatted discs (or in this case cards), some are expensive, some are not. Alternatively you could take it to a specialist who should be able to recover the majority, if not all of the photo's. I recently recovered a 300GB Hard drive which had been re-formatted by mistake, and didn't lose a single file.
Have a look at www.pctools.com, www.pcperformancetools.com for starters, and failing that, just search for "recover fromatted data" or similar and see what comes up.
Most important thing is don't use the card until it's sorted one way or the other.

No problem.
I believe that by marinading the camera in cabbage water for 3 days the ixus should spontaniously correct the format issue.
Hope that helps

Hi there
When you format your memory card, it means that the photos are gone for ever I'm afraid.

If you did a low level format, forget it. They are gone, gone, gone.
